I know where the fat goes!

I used to always wonder where the fat went when you lost weight and I finally found out the other day! You guys probably already know this, but thought i'd post incase you didn't.

I heard it from Dr Oz on Oprah!

Fat gets broken down into water and carbon dioxide, so it can be lost through sweating, urinating, breathing etc. The fat cells however wait there for more fat to come so they can store it again, and nothing short of liposuction will get rid of it.

Now everytime I pee, breathe or sweat I hope and pray its fat coming out

I've heard that too

The fat cells just shrink but i also read somewhere that at a certain point your body dosen't create any more fat cells...

Here's hoping that was a few mars bars ago

hehe that would be a good visualisation excercise.... just imagining fat flowing out of your pores and out with your breath. Imagining it now
